I had a Junkrat try to hit me with a tire as Tracer, so I blinked around a bunch, then rewound, and ran around a little more, basically convinced that I was in the clear
and then like ten seconds later it blew me up, and only me, so I can only assume he had a grudge of some sort
I've landed a few headshots like that on PS4 from the top of the Kings Row spawn against enemies right at the far end by the first objective. It's doable. And if you have your ult you can track your target even when they're behind cover.
Can't say I like playing as Widow though, the game's no fun if you're not in the thick of it.
i am getting to be a good Widow where I can have somewhat consistent 40-50% accuracy in a game and I find I do the best when I'm somewhat near the thick of it pushing behind a reinhardt shield. it's pretty great
I think PotG should recognize every time a roadhog hooks a tire and shotguns it to cancel it.
Ult shutdowns get you big PotG cred. I got PotG as Roadhog over some big kills just because I shot a tire, and then hooked and killed a Soldier with ult up.

I hope they add more Omnics and other non-human characters.
I kind of want to see a second Gorilla from the Moon. Like an evil version of Winston. (I also want to know what they're doing up there)
Capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed if Labor had not first existed. Labor is superior to capital, and deserves much the higher consideration. - Lincoln
They probably spaced them
But we will know more come Blizzcon about more maps and characters since I don't think they will talk about much else since
Legion will be out for 2 months before, Hearthstone will have yet another hook trying to get rubes into the game, Diablo will have another season or something, StarCraft will hype up another mode or map.
I hope they add more Omnics and other non-human characters.

I feel like it'd be kind of difficult to add another gorilla without having silhouette problems. At least another Omnic can pretty well look completely bizarre (or humanoid+accessories).

Sure but you could say the same about humans. Just give them a weird gait or some other unique trait and they'll look unique enough.

If they were particularly worried about silhouettes there wouldn't be a Reaper skin with no coat and a Soldier skin with a coat. Messes me up every time.
I've made reinhardt work on hanamura B but I don't know what I think would work better than him either, hanamura B is a shithole
omg you guys
what even do you do at hanamura B, I have no strategies
place is just a slaughterhouse
likewise, ilios ruins and lijiang control center always seem to be a Bad Time for me
Hanamura B is awful and the best strategy is to win really early or hope to get three victories that last long enough to get to each breakpoint on the cap. I really think it needs a bit of a tweak. My favorites My favorites are either allow the left side of the map to go all the way back to the back row enemies shoot from, or make the right side of the map with the staircase have a sheer drop instead of stairs to the enemy spawn. Also just remove the 2-3 spots you can get to as Widow that don't look at all like typical sniper spots, those give her and Hanzo too much of an advantage.
I really want another bomber since Junkrat and DVA can only do it so often and live with the turtle fest that is Hanamura is one of the few ways to crack it without costing the team most of it's members
Everyone's getting their Torbjorn fun in now, huh? Swear I ran into four or five Torb stacks in a row. I'd blow up two, hop over a wall and, woops, there's two more waiting to blow me out of the sky

That also happened to me. Enemy team was 4 torb, a zarya and a symmetra. We lost so when we switched to defense we threw that setup back at the other team and they couldn't do anything either. One guy on the other team got really salty accused us of being unoriginal. We were like "you're not even the first team today to throw a torb majority at the other team."

I had to sit in the training room and rebind buttons for a while to figure everything out. I was going from 7 buttons to just 5. So jump had to go to left stick, and crouch to left Dpad. It's not like I ever use the 'hero power display' screen anymore. Everything else worked out, except sometimes I hit the mouse scroll and change weapons while clicking the scroll button for my Ult. I don't think that should cause any real problems, though.
Other drawback is it makes a little beeping noise when you switch from controller to mouse. Which means it does it constantly. I barely notice it (or the UI swapping) but when I do it's annoying. No idea if there's a way to disable the sound/UI or what, probably not though. Also I can't recline all the way back in my chair and relax, I have to sit way closer to use the mouse. That does make my neck hurt a bit, but only at the very end of the session, so not too bad.
I actually had to crank the sensitivity up above the default, which I didn't expect. I might have to raise it a bit more, to be honest. I still stuck to playing less aiming intensive characters, just in case.
Highlight was probably the Torbjorn POTG where I hit Ult and the scroll wheel changed my weapon, so I dove off a platform right into a melee and clubbed multiple people to death with the hammer before figuring out how to switch back.
There are 3rd party programs to get ps3/4 stuff working on PC. I use one for my fight stick.
I actually have one of those. I think I used the Move once, it was disappointing. I suppose I could give it a shot, but I have a feeling the PS4 controller would actually still be more comfortable. Might be worth a shot, reminds me of the one handed RPG controller I bought.
The programs that get PS3 controllers working on PC my alleviate that beeping, as they trick your CPU into thinking you always have a Xbox controller, running. I'll post the one I use tomorrow after I wake up.
The problem is in Overwatch itself, not the computer. It makes a little 'boop' noise when you switch from controller to keyboard/mouse, and the UI switches from showing LT/RT to mouse buttons. I already use InputMapper, and everything shows up with 360 button prompts.
What I really hate about playing Reinhardt is I can either keep the shield up. escort the cart or dps
Not all three and it doesn't help when I escorting the enemy team walks right past the rest of my team since they are goofing off or something and comes right for me
I've been getting more dva time lately just to branch out. Someone mentioned a while back playing dva like a tank tracer and I've been going that route. My favorite is rocket boosting into people, and if they kill the mech I always eject forward and just rush into their face. Approximately half those times or more in 1-on-1 encounters, they're totally not expecting it and I tear them apart as they try and backpedal. People really don't like when you get close to them in this game.

The game used to boop at me but eventually i think it gave up, i don't remember even changing any sound options
I had a ton of losses last night I really could not stand for another before I just started screaming in rage
I really need to find a group to play with but being up at night and playing on my weekends is not going to be really helpful

I don't know for sure if you can, but if you're trying to use middle-mouse as ultimate, maybe you could bind weapon swap to mouse-wheel up, and ult to mouse-wheel down (or something similar). I don't think there are any characters with 3 guns, so you wouldn't really need a weapon up and weapon down... Just "the weapon I'm not currently using"

You can also hook D Va's self destructing mech
it was this brutal sadness every time i held up the shield and watched my team shoot through it and accomplish nothiiiiiing

Oh wow, I hadn't noticed the cards or altered belt until now. I love the little details in this game.

He also has a spade on the pistol and clovers on the cylinders
which is telling me I need more practice hitting airborne targets because fuck you

Speaking of which, I was part of this team today
I honestly don't know how we won
We got fucking melted at Point A, and nearly lost Point B soon after that.
But we managed to stabilize and hold them off.

So, I tested out left hand controller/right hand mouse tonight.
If I was doing such a setup I'd probably look into one of these:
